The lovely pigs of the Portland Police Bureau, once again, have proven they have no respect for civil liberties. On October 27th, 2016, I came across two officers interacting with a woman. An employee of Ace Hardware on 122nd and Powell called the cops because the woman had been sitting in her car for over […]

Technically, this is a prequel, rather than an update, since he was arrested prior to the protests I wrote about here at the CopBlock Network last night.

On Oct 8th 2016, James Peach met up with Mike Bluehair, Robert West and a few others, who were waiting behind the federal courthouse in Portland Oregon. They were waiting to film the ‘Bundy Prisoners’ as they got transported out after their court session. Apparently the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) doesn’t like that. DHS proceeded to […]

A couple weeks ago, Portland Police from East Precinct gave unlawful orders to Mike Bluehair and Robert West, fellow Portland copblockers.

(If you have a video and/or story you would like to share with the CopBlock Network, you can do so via the CopBlock.org Submissions Page.) It shows an incident that took place […]

Robert Lee West, aka “Uncle Bob”, was arrested last weekend in Portland doing what he does best – filming the police. Neither being arrested for filming the police nor the lame reasons the state gives for those arrested are new experiences for a seasoned CopBlocker. This is true for “Uncle Bob”, and his colleague Mike “BlueHair”, as […]

Robert West, a photographer with Film the Police Portland was threatened with arrest and kicked out of City Hall after he inquired about a mayor’s meeting happening inside city hall.
